Currently working to setup my Plex server in the cloud...
Seems like an odd place to put a media server.
It's easier than getting my landlord to grant me access to his FiOS router so I can forward 32400 to my router and thus to my plex server...
Then get your own internet service.
That is neither practical nor feasible at this point. Also, it makes no sense.
Why isn't it practical? I can understand it might not be feasible because you are cash poor, and why doesn't it make sense?

It's a single resident house. The only option would be to do Time Warner, considering he already has FiOS, and that ain't happening...

Actually, it does make sense to get your own Internet connection. I don't think everyone here remembers your living arrangements. I know I don't.
So, to us, it makes no sense that you haven't got your own Internet connection, considering what you are wanting to do with it.
Yeah, it's easy to forget that. My situation is a bit...odd to say the least.

Why don't you think the owner will let you have access to the FIOS? If it's only for your rental house.. what harm is there?

Because he's a paranoid stoner...try explaining the basics of how a port forward won't affect his network to a paranoid stoner...

Using a Dev3 instance to build out a Staging system for MangoLassi! ML has gotten so busy, taking thousands of hits an hour, that we really need a staging server for testing changes. We have no slow time anymore and any downtime is thousands of 404s. So we need a more consistent, reliable process. This will let us look into making interface changes and other things that would be disruptive to test. I know... staging is a long time coming but we just haven't been that busy. Now we are really in the big time and need the ability to really test and customize.

Sounds like a record setting month.

re-imaging the seafile CentOS box I just went through the trouble of making. Going to replace it with OwnCloud. Seafile is no where near on par with owncloud.

Already close to breaking the February traffic numbers and it is only the 12th! We are seeing hour long averages with around two and a half to three views of the site per second!!

Just bought three additional Dev2 instances. Building out a lab database cluster. Going to have clustered Redis and MongoDB on it. Want to test real sharding and failover.

@scottalanmiller This doesn't concern you?

If you are using for production machines it should be of concern.. but that's not really what C@C is for.

The BBB concerns me. I've caught them doing shady stuff before. The BBB is a scam where businesses pay an extortion fee for a clean record. I would never look at that site. I tried to report someone once there and the BBB had this whole thing set up to make sure a paying customer would never get a bad review. So I tried to report the BBB itself to see what would happen. The BBB listed itself as a bait and tackle shop in Texas.
So.... I know how that thing works.

I don't see anything negative there at all. What do you suppose would concern me? No bad reviews, not accredited. That's all positive. They've not paid for a fake clean record, that points to them being above board and trustworthy. It doesn't mean that, it could also just mean that they are being cheap or that they've never heard of the BBB - seriously, whose heard of the BBB in the last decade?

There's been a 20/20 investigation reporting on them being a scam before. I've filed reports and nothing happens.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought the BBB was a scam.

That's awesome. The BBB has done such a good job of hoodwinking everyone that people always lay the "conspiracy theorist" label on me every time I point out the obvious. How anyone whose aware of what they are (pay to be a business member) could think that they are anything else really surprises me. And why people think that it takes a conspiracy for one business to take money for giving out good data blows my mind. There is no conspiracy, no cover up, just good marketing and money exchanged for favorable reviews. It's not a conspiracy, it's the simplest and most obvious business model.

It would only make sense if the consumers pay to file claims and etc. of course they are going to side with the ones paying or they would just quit paying.

Yeah, what else would the money be being exchange for? That's the only benefit that paying that money could provide.

If you don't pay, they still list you and try to collect bad reports about you.
